Winemakers Notes

91 points and listed as a `Spanish Wine Bargain Under $20` by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate no tasting note. 90 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: `Saturated purple. Smoky raspberry and cherry on the nose with a sexy mocha quality adding complexity. Fleshy round dark fruit liqueur flavors caress rather than pummel the palate. Gentle tannins arrive late to add structure but this is all about silky juicy fruit.`

I bought this wine at the New Hampshire State Liquor store for $11.89 with the special promotion they had on Spanish, French and Portugese wines. This wine was a real bargain - dark purple color,various berries on the nose with a full fruit flavor in the mouth and long finish. Could taste the tannin on the back of my tongue. I would like to know if this wine can be stored and for how long. I woulden't have tried this wine if it had not been promoted as a special - 15% off a case of mix and match Spanish, French and Portugese wines. Great gift idea for Christmas!
